Despite stiff competition, Sabeco still had an impressive business performance in the first nine months of the year with pre tax profit of VND4.5 trillion.

Vissan is the leading company in the food supply sector thanks with its 40 years’ experience and a large distribution network. Its prospectus says Vissan now holds 65 percent of sausage market share, 70 percent of Chinese sausage and 20 percent of canned food market share.

The market is expected to see a lot of IPOs of major companies in 2017. These include PV Power, PV Oil and Binh Son Refinery.

Investors also have high expectations for the IPOs of Vigecam (agricultural materials), HUD and IDICO (real estate developers), Vicem (cement manufacturer) and MobiFone (telecom). 

Of these, MobiFone, one of the three largest mobile network operators in Vietnam, is attractive with charter capital of VND15 trillion and targeted revenue of VND100 trillion by 2020.

Private companies

Novaland (real estate developer), Vietjet Air, Quang Ngai Sugar, FPT Telecom and Techcombank are the most wanted names in the group.
